Social Issues

This beautiful book was written in response to the Big Storm in June 2021 in the Dandenong Ranges. The trees fell all night long and in the morning no one had power or phones so they went outside to explore. The emergency services and local volunteers set up hubs to gather and feed locals, and we had amazing locals teaching us to drum, dance, and generally do anything that didn't require power. The book helps children and parents to focus on the good things that happened after the storm, taking them on a healing journey towards building resilience.
